"Ah!" Aveline screamed and turned to run.

Even though she had a knife, she didn't dare to confront the man directly. What if he took the knife and used it against her?

She ran as fast as she could, shouting for help. Her cries echoed through the empty underground parking lot. The sound of footsteps behind her felt like they were pounding on her heart. Terror gripped her, making her feel like her heart was about to burst out of her chest. She clutched the knife tightly, trembling all over.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the side, tackling the man chasing her.
